Serious stock-taking is in progress now among practitioners of
whathas been called Sovietology, meaning studies of the Union of
SovietSocialist Republics. The reason is that the field for the
most part hadnot been expecting what happened in 1991: The USSR
collapsed andwent out of existence as a unified state system
governing a sixth ofthe world's territory, having allowed its East
European empire tofree itself from Soviet dominance somewhat
earlier.It might be said in defense of Sovietology that, by the
beginningof the 1980s, it understood that economic and political
crises werebrewing in the Soviet Union and its outer empire. But
the field asa whole failed to grasp the full depth of the systemic
crisis in SovietRussia and the destructive or self-destructive
potentialities inherentin it. As the editors of this valuable
volume write in the Introduction:"Sovietology was not prepared for
perestroika and postcommunism."
